Abstract
The notion of Hijab is rooted in Quran, the Holy book in the Islamic teaching, where it emphasizes the importance of modesty. One of the key verses often cited is in Holly Quran, which instructs Muslim women to draw their veils over their heads. Therefore, this study aims to explore the textual features of Hijab in religious discourses by examining the ideologies found in religious verses. By employing critical discourse analysis, the research investigates the representation of the Hijab across two selected verses from the Holy Quran. By utilizing Fairclough's three-dimensional framework (2001) and qualitative methods, the analysis reveals nuanced expressions of the Hijab within religious verses. The study discerns that religious verses employ carefully chosen words to underscore the significance of wearing the Hijab. The usage of second and third possessive pronouns in the text indicates that wearing Hijab is an obligation for all women. It also concludes that the religious verses describe the Hijab positively by using positive expression. As for the ideological analysis, it reveals different aspects of life, including religious, juristic, moral and social matters that is used to regulate life.
